Format

Kids are organized into small groups, or pods, by grade at the beginning of each class. Each class has 4 sessions of video based teaching and reflection or activities. Older kids, from time to time, will be selected to help guide younger kids in discovering God’s truth for that day in the small group setting. The first two sessions on a Sunday morning are lead by the Upstream Host. The last to sessions are lead by an Upstream Small Group Coordinator and usually involve games and activities with a review on materials taught that day called Bible What’s It?
